Used book – The Blood Spilt, Åsa Larsson

145 kilometres from the Arctic Circle, in the twilight atmosphere of the Far North, a small village near Kiruna, the hometown of tax lawyer Rebecka Martinsson, is in shock: the parish pastor – a woman – has just been murdered: her body brutally mutilated and hung from the organ in her church. After a long sick leave, Rebecka, on assignment there for her law firm, investigates this case, which reawakens the traumatic memory of another murder, also of a pastor, a year earlier.

The denouement, as unexpected as it is brutal, is reason enough to drop everything and delve into it. Philippe Blanchet, Le Figaro magazine.
